Ameisen Quergang

Climbing the "Ameisen Quergang" (Ant Traverse) in Upper Austria at a grade of 6- is a rewarding experience, often described as technically interesting rather than physically demanding. The route, whose name hints at the nature of the climb, likely involves a traverse characterized by small holds and precise footwork, requiring you to move like an ant across the wall. Given the grade, expect it to involve good friction holds and the need to maintain body tension to avoid barn-dooring. Protection is likely to be either bolted or possible with gear, allowing for a safe lead climb. The views from the traverse in Upper Austria are likely to be stunning, offering a glimpse of the beautiful landscape, although the focus will have to stay on the climbing to successfully complete the traverse. Successfully navigating the "Ameisen Quergang" would be a great accomplishment for any climber at that level.
